THIS, the latest text-book on elementary algebra, is intended for the higher classes of schools and for the junior students in the Universities. The title of the book “A Treatise on Algebra,” together with the fact that in the preface the book is affirmed to be complete in itself, is likely to convey the impression that the work is more extensive and ambitious in its scope and design than is really the case. In regard to the matter treated of, it covers much the same ground as Todhunter's “Algebra,” which it greatly resembles; it differs from it chiefly in a different arrangement of the parts of the subject, and in the introduction of elementary notions of “elimination” and “determinants.”A Treatise on Algebra.By C. Smith. (London: Macmillan, 1888.)
